    Default New shoes!

    Hey guys, I just tried on my new rims/tires today and drove around on them. I can't keep them on yet because I have yet to recieve my hubcentric rings.

    Anyways. I'll post up pictures tonight afterwork when I get home.

    BTW, for those who wanted to know if 265's work...well, they do...but, im not sure if its rubbing on bumps or not. Any good way to test that?

    Oh yea...and for those running 245's in the front...how the heck? I put in 235's and have basically NO room between the strut and tire. (Probably something like 2mm). I dont know if I should put those 3mm spring pads in now.


    Pics will be up in about 6-7 hours.

    Pete, Im still waiting for everything else so I can keep the wheels on! Call me!


    Any good way to test for rubbing on the insides and lips?
    In that first picture, I drove the rear wheel up a curb. I couldnt get my finger through the hole =x. But, its not touching...so does that mean I am okay?

    Also, my passenger side has less gap that my driver side (rear wheels). Wonder what could be causing it?

    One of your rear forks is bent?

    Btw., a couple of suggestions:
    - euro bumper trims (without side markers)
    - euro headlights
    - rear spoiler with a third brake light
    - reflective plate behind the rear license plate
    (like the one M5s have, but not the black one)

    hmm, euro trim is coming, as is euro headlights + hid.
    Might go with a lip spoiler.

    Refective plate ey? I bought the black m5 one =x. I dont think I've ever seen a reflective one...would look a little silly? or are you saying something?

    It wouldn't look silly at all - I was also suspicious and then I've seen it mounted and it looked great. Gives the car a sleek look. Basically, it's the same colour like the rear lights so it blends in nicely.
